Hello,</p>
<p>We’re excited to announce the release of a curriculum focused on
historical and contemporary resistance to forced sterilizations.
This project was conceived and started in 2014 by intern Teeanna
Munro as an educational resource to connect forced sterilizations
in California’s prisons to historical uses of the practice in
Black, Native American and Puerto Rican communities. The
curriculum contains audio and paper archival materials from the
Freedom Archives and includes activities that incorporate and
develop different skill sets, such as critical thinking, active
reading, active listening and expository or persuasive essay
writing, all with the intention of deepening understanding of this
recent history and its lessons.</p>
<p>We have created this curriculum in order to provide historical
context for forced sterilization, illuminate the voices of those
directly affected by forced sterilization, and generate community
discussion and activism around women’s liberation and reproductive
justice. You can download the free <a
href="http://freedomarchives.org/Documents/Finder/DOC46_scans/46.SterilizationCurriculum.Nov2016.pdf">curriculum</a>
and <a
href="http://freedomarchives.org/Documents/Finder/DOC46_scans/46.SterilizationResourcesComplete.pdf">resource
guide</a> and check out our entire archival collection on forced
sterilization <a
href="http://search.freedomarchives.org/search.php?view_collection=318">here</a>.</p>
<p>We would also like to thank Vera Tykulsker and Carli Lowe for
their invaluable contributions to this resource.</p>
<p>peace Nathaniel</p>
<p>ps. We’d love to hear about your experiences using this
curriculum. Please send comments and feedback to
